🇩🇪 Cologne | Must-Eat Pork Knuckle by the Cathedral!
If you're visiting Cologne Cathedral, you cannot miss this legendary German feast just 1 minute away! 🍖 Gaffel am Dom – The Ultimate Pork Knuckle Experience 📍 Location: Right next to Cologne Cathedral (Bahnhofsvorpl. 1, 50667 Köln) 🔥 Why It’s Famous: Crispy Pork Knuckle (Schweinshaxe) – The crunchiest skin you’ll ever hear, juicy meat, served with sauerkraut & mashed potatoes (the real MVP!). Local Beer: Gaffel Kölsch (a must-try!) or non-alcoholic Gaffels Fassbrause (apple/orange/lemon flavors). ⚠️ What to Skip: Fried Pork Cutlet (a bit dry) Extra Salad (comes with the meal anyway) 💰 Price: €20-30 per person (huge portions – share one knuckle between two!) 📸 Vibe: Huge beer hall packed with football fans (⚽️ if there’s a match, expect singing & cheering!) 🍻 Pro Tips: ✔️ Order Kölsch beer (served in small glasses, but they keep refilling until you cover your glass with a coaster!). ✔️ Best time to go: Early dinner (~6PM) to avoid crowds. #GermanFood #CologneEats #PorkKnuckleHeaven
